What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to gain further knowledge and experience in a full-time position at an ethical company.

At Medline Renewal, I reverse engineered equipment and developed procedures for refurbishing it. I also conducted statistical studies, software development, and HiPot testing using Minitab and Python.

At Mohawk Technology, I programmed PLCs, created HMIs, and integrated robot cells and vision systems. I also worked with SCADA and data reporting across industrial networks.

At Milwaukee Tool, I automated test scripts with LabVIEW, TestStand, and Python, and worked on requirement verification and hardware troubleshooting. Earlier, I developed automated tests in Python and VHDL at GS Engineering and gained experience in software development, PLC programming, and electrical automation as an intern.
